It has been common practice for these guys to trade black belts with each other. If they are willing to trade belts or certs, then it lets you know how ethical they are. But some of these people like Valadez, do not have a legitimate martial art in the first place. Their stuff is garbage.

Some of the people on the list you are talking about, have legit belts to begin with, but then pad their resume with fake belts. That ends up putting their legit certs into question and degrades the belt for all the people who worked hard for it.

the presedent of the valadez kenpoo association has legit rank and his programs are good and down to earth so back off and stop trashing the vka

Please elaborate on the bolded part. All I can find is that he gained his rank through a video program. I can find no information on him or his claimed instructors, outside of video instruction and his claims of training in a "backyard dojo."
